Understanding Forms of Linear Equations - Grades 9-12

Goals and Standards

Colorado Academic Standards:

• HS.F-LE.A. Linear, Quadratic & Exponential Models: Construct and compare linear, quadratic, and exponential models and solve problems.
• HS.F-BF.A. Building Functions: Build a function that models a relationship between two quantities.
• HS.F-IF.C. Interpreting Functions: Analyze functions using different representations.

Mathematical Practice Standards:

• MP2. Reason abstractly and quantitatively. 
• MP4. Model with mathematics.
• MP5. Use appropriate tools strategically. 
• MP7. Look for and make use of structure.

Learning Goal:

• Students will be able to work with all three forms of linear functions and develop understanding of the information readily available from each form.
